Security FAQ

How can I see only the projects that I am working on?

Doing nothing . By default every user sees only active projects where it is assigned. Of course when you start searching Twproject security starts working and you will see only tasks, issues, resources that you are allowed to see. See https://twproject.com/support/using-twproject/security/

How Twproject uses role-based security?

In two ways: global or local to a project. Global roles are valid everywhere (ok, not really everywhere, but in a security area) so if you have, for instance, a permission for “task read” you can see every task even if you are not involved on it; this could match the company’s boss case. Global roles are set from the user editor.
Locally to a project, role-based security is applied assigning users to a project. In this cane a “task read” permission will allow a user to see the project structure from that point and down. See this section for a complete overview on security: https://twproject.com/support/using-twproject/security/

What an “administrator” can do?

Almost everything. There are some visibility restriction on private agenda events. If you have security concern, you should have only few (one or two) administrators and use “area managers” instead. Administrators have access to sensible configuration data.

Can I disable a user?

Yes of course. When a resource leave your company, you can disable it. Doing this you will preserve all inserted data and you will free a license. Go to the “resource editor” –> “security /login” and disable it.
